(we don’t serve burgers!) week-day lunchtimes attract a good crowd of local office workers, especially on fridays, which is steadily increasing as people return to offices in the area. most evenings are busy from 6-10pm with a good amount of bookings vs walk-ins, and a high percentage of tables eating. sunday roasts are very popular and bring in a good chunk of the week’s food sales. service is relaxed and informal and there is a mix of table service and bar service, retaining the traditional pub feel whilst serving high quality food and drinks. you will be working in a small friendly team with a very experienced head chef who likes to train and coach people. we are happy to develop the right candidate, as we hire mainly on the basis of friendliness, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. we are part of the grace land group, which includes the black heart, the axe, red hand, the kings arms (bethnal green) and the bethnal green tavern. there is great opportunity for growth within the company, as we prefer to promote internally, and we are actively looking for new sites to add to our group. nice things: monthly bonus scheme paid day off for your birthday 25% discount across all sites.
